After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Pacers 108-80. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
