After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Spurs took care of the Nets 101-83. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
