After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Cavaliers 99-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
