After Action Report

The Nets pulled away from the Kings 135-116. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
