After Action Report
The Nets fended off the Lakers 123-117. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
