After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Nets shocked the Suns 97-96. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. An upset for the books.
