After Action Report

The Nets handled the Rockets 127-110. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
