After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets took care of the Cavaliers 118-102. Nets' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
