After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the Hornets 120-116. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
