After Action Report
The Nets rolled past the Rockets 118-97. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
