After Action Report
The Nets buried the Pacers 144-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
