After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Jazz buried the Nets 117-97. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
