After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Nets 133-74. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
