After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Pacers 135-111. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
