After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets blew the doors off the Pacers 126-104. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
