After Action Report
The Nets pulled away from the Heat 98-86. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets steamroller is in full effect right now; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
