After Action Report

The Nets blew the doors off the Pacers 118-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
