After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Lakers 109-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
