After Action Report
The Nets pulled away from the Kings 94-80. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
