After Action Report
The Nets downed the Hornets 115-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
