After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Nets 106-77. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
