The Nets snuck past the Cavaliers 96-94. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
