After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Magic 101-99. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
