After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Rockets 119-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
