After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Rockets 119-111. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
