After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Pacers 115-114. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
