After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nets pulled away from the Magic 131-116. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
