After Action Report
The Nets survived the Suns 115-114. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
