After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets buried the Nets 135-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
