After Action Report
The Nets edged the Bucks 97-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nets sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
