After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nets survived the Bobcats 128-125. The tempo dragged the Bobcats into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
