After Action Report

The Nets squeaked past the Pacers 106-105. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
