After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets outlasted the Kings 102-93. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 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.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
