After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Nets fended off the Kings 136-128. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
