After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the Jazz 102-100. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
