After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Pacers 131-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
