After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Hawks 111-109. Every possession went the Nets way. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
