After Action Report

The Nets survived the Hawks 128-126 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
