After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Lakers 109-98. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
