After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Knicks 120-91. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. The Nets steamroller is in full effect right now; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
