After Action Report

The Nets demolished the Celtics 145-109. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
