After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Nets 109-106. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
