After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets outlasted the Celtics 124-118. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
