After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the Spurs 105-101. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.

- Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
