After Action Report
The Nets downed the Knicks 97-83. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
