After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the 76ers 119-116. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
