After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets buried the Bobcats 138-108. The tempo dragged the Bobcats into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets steamroller is in full effect right now; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
