After Action Report
The Nets pulled away from the Rockets 109-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
