After Action Report
The Nets edged the Raptors 117-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
