After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Cavaliers 116-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it
