After Action Report

The Nets squeaked past the Heat 109-105. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
