After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets ran roughshod over the Wizards 148-121. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
