After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets pulled away from the Kings 134-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
