After Action Report
The Nets buried the Raptors 130-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
