The sad part for the Nets is that the rest of the rotation guys contributed. Warren has 20, Harris has a season high 18 — but they aren’t going to win much when Kyrie goes 9/22 and Simmons doesn’t register a point. The Nets need to help Simmons find offensive confidence quickly. – 9:43 PM

Ben Simmons has 7 assists in the first quarter. He just faked calling a play then rifled a pass to Joe Harris for a transition three.

Seth Curry scores upon checking in but Boston immediately puts him in the pick and roll with Tatum on the other end.
Confusion leads to a wide-open three.
Again, this is a really tough matchup for Seth, but Nets need offense. Jaylen Brown being out helps a lot. – 7:49 PM
Bobby Manning

Infectious passing from Smart early. Grant gets downhill for a pair of baskets at the rim. Tatum goes inside and Luke follows his miss. Fourth assist for Smart feeding Tatum for 3. Great 9-4 #Celtics run to tie it at 23. – 7:49 PM

Immediate timeout from Jacque Vaughn after Jayson Tatum gets a wide open three.
Here it is: Kyrie Irving out at the 4:21 mark in Q1. In are Simmons, Curry, Harris, Warren and Watanabe. Can the Nets sustain offense? And can the defense keep up with so many shooters on the floor? – 7:48 PM

Good start for Brooklyn’s complementary wings in this one:
12 early points from T.J. Warren (5), Joe Harris (4), and Royce O’Neale (3).

Timeout, Nets: Brooklyn leads Boston, 19-14, behind 5 points each from Kyrie Irving and TJ Warren. But Luke Kornet just got a wide open corner 3, which forces Claxton to decide whether or not to contest or open up paint to drives. Will be watching. Tatum hasn’t scored yet. – 7:44 PM
Bobby Manning
@RealBobManning
White, Kornet and Rob Williams scoring all the #Celtics‘ points so far. Good sign of ball movement, but #Nets have prevented Tatum, Smart Grant from scoring for over half of the 1Q now. Defense.

Nick Friedell
@NickFriedell
Vaughn brings Warren in for Harris around the seven minute mark. This allows Warren to have a quick impact on the game — but will limit his minutes to start the 1st and 3rd. Nets still very cautious about Warren’s foot after his missed the last two years while rehabbing. – 7:43 PM

@Alex__Schiffer

Re: Celtics injury report
Jaylen says he tweaked his groin last night. Probably nothing serious, but no need to push.
Horford and Rob Williams are likely to each sit different night on B2Bs. Rob sat last night, Horford sitting tonight.
Smart evidently back from leg contusion – 1:29 PM

When the malaise starts to wash over, that’s when the alarm goes off in Jaylen Brown’s head. Nothing like a bull in a china shop to wake up the neighborhood and get a Celtics win.

Jaylen Brown last night:
✅ 41 PTS
✅ 12 REB

✅ 8-9 FT
Brown is the first Celtic to record a 40-point, 10-rebound game with 70% shooting from the field since Larry Bird on March 11, 1990.
