After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Nets 101-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
