After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Knicks 110-109. Nets' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Nets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
