After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Nets 115-112. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
