After Action Report
The Nets buried the Knicks 108-88. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
