After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Nets ran roughshod over the Lakers 131-108. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
