After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Bucks 117-97. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bucks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bucks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
