After Action Report
In Indiana, the Nets fended off the Pacers 102-96. Every possession went the Nets way. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
