After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets ran roughshod over the Magic 118-83. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
