After Action Report
The Nets downed the Hornets 109-97. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
