After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets pulled away from the Heat 93-75. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
