After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Knicks 106-79. Nets torched the Knicks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
