After Action Report

The Suns buried the Nets 124-104. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
