After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets survived the Kings 110-107. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
