After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Nets 116-111. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
