After Action Report

The Nets buried the Lakers 109-88. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
