After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Knicks 128-125. Nets' offense had its way with the Knicks. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
