After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets knocked off the Raptors 117-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets steamroller is in full effect right now; Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
