After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Hornets 103-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
