After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Nets 117-89. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
