After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Cavaliers 105-95. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
