After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Pacers 112-110. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. 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.
