After Action Report

The Nets shocked the 76ers 131-129 in overtime. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
