After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets blew the doors off the Knicks 137-86. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
