After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs handled the Nets 98-88. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
