After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Rockets 123-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
