After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Pacers 104-99. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
