After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets buried the Cavaliers 129-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
