After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Celtics 112-108. Nets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
