After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the Knicks 96-95. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
