After Action Report
The Nets held off the Lakers 106-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
