After Action Report

The Lakers pulled away from the Nets 118-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
