After Action Report
The Nets survived the Spurs 96-94. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
