After Action Report
In New York, the Nets squeaked past the Knicks 125-121 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Knicks lately. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
