After Action Report
The Nets survived the Magic 91-90. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
