After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Lakers 130-121. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
