After Action Report
The Nets rolled past the Hornets 140-103. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
