After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Pacers 133-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
