After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Trail Blazers 97-93. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · 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.
