After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Jazz 87-81. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
