After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Suns 121-116. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
