After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets downed the Rockets 111-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
