After Action Report

The Nets downed the Magic 112-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
