After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Nets 114-74. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
