After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Knicks 117-116. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
