After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets snuck past the Cavaliers 96-95. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
