After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Celtics 122-90. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
