After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Nets squeaked past the Hornets 99-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
