After Action Report
In Miami, the Nets squeaked past the Heat 95-91. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
