After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets rolled past the Knicks 131-109. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
