After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets ran roughshod over the Kings 135-115. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Nets steamroller is in full effect right now. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
