After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Spurs 164-161 in triple overtime. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
