After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets ran roughshod over the Kings 138-99. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
