After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Hawks 139-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
