After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets ran roughshod over the Hornets 131-111. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
