After Action Report

The Nets handled the Spurs 103-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
