After Action Report
The Nets stunned the Lakers 138-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
