After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Suns ran roughshod over the Nets 102-80. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
