After Action Report

The Warriors downed the Nets 97-87. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
