After Action Report

The Nets upended the Spurs 139-137 in triple overtime. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
