After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Nets 124-104. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
