After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Cavaliers 105-103. Nets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
