After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Trail Blazers 96-79. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
