After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Nets buried the Lakers 121-93. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
