After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets blew the doors off the Pacers 130-103. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
