After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 99-74. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
