After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Nets 113-104. Celtics torched the Nets on the offensive end. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
