After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets buried the Kings 119-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
