After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Hornets 122-99. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
