After Action Report
The Nets downed the Lakers 111-99. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
