After Action Report

The Nets buried the Jazz 130-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
