After Action Report
In Portland, the Nets downed the Trail Blazers 115-98. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
