After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Hornets 104-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
