After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Cavaliers 113-112. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
