After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Knicks 129-92. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
