After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets shocked the Knicks 121-111. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
