After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets buried the Heat 118-98. Nets torched the Heat on the offensive end. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
