After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Hornets 120-119 in overtime. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
