After Action Report
The Nets stunned the Pacers 106-104. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
