After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets held off the Knicks 135-126 in overtime. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
