After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nets buried the Magic 155-123. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
