After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the Knicks 118-113. Nets' offense had its way with the Knicks. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
