After Action Report
The Nets pulled away from the Raptors 91-80. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · 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.
