After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Heat 98-94. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
