After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Lakers 95-78. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
