After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Rockets 125-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
