The Nets pounced early on a clearly fatigued and otherwise ill-prepared Hornets squad, that ran an offense that can be best described as an inquisitive stand-around, and rode their hot shooting and sound passing to an easy victory over an imploding team.
The Nets fired from deep early and often and manufactured open three after open three after open three, finishing the night with a ridiculous 16-23 three-point shooting mark, setting a franchise record.
Look: the Hornets are a bad team, but the Nets have played down to bad teams in the past. They didn’t tonight, and rode it to a dominating victory.
