After Action Report
The Nets upended the Celtics 94-93. Every possession went the Nets way. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
