After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Cavaliers 135-132. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
