After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets blew the doors off the Celtics 126-103. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
