After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nets 138-99. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
