After Action Report

The Nets squeaked past the Magic 110-109 in overtime. Nets' starting five clicked while the Magic looked disjointed. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed.

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