After Action Report

The Nets buried the Lakers 110-90. Every possession went the Nets way. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
