After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets blew the doors off the Lakers 124-98. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
