After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Heat 119-92. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
