After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 134-109. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
