After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Nets squeaked past the Cavaliers 103-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
