After Action Report
The Nets held off the Knicks 133-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
