After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Mavericks 114-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it
