In New Jersey, the Nets took care of the Trail Blazers 128-117. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. The Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
