After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets blew the doors off the Hawks 135-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
