After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nets ran roughshod over the Knicks 132-109. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
