After Action Report
The Nets edged the Kings 117-110. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
