After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets held off the Pacers 112-106. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
