After Action Report

The Nets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 129-108. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
