After Action Report
The Nets edged the Spurs 105-97. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
