After Action Report
The Nets survived the Celtics 120-118. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
