After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets buried the Rockets 119-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
