After Action Report
The Nets handled the Magic 114-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
