After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the Nets 123-88. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
