After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the Nuggets 115-111. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
