After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Nets 102-83. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
