After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets rolled past the Kings 139-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. 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 Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- 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.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
