After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Raptors 94-84. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
