After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Pacers 102-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
