After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets handled the 76ers 127-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
