After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets blew the doors off the Pacers 120-100. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
