After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Pacers 103-97. Nets' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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.
