After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Kings edged the Nets 91-83. Kings' offense had its way with the Nets. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
