Nets focus on communication before matchup with Hornets

The Brooklyn Nets prepare for a game against the Charlotte Hornets on November 5 after a tough loss to the New York Knicks. Brooklyn lost 103-90, largely due to a fourth-quarter collapse where they were outscored 28-11. Head coach Jordi Fernandez emphasized the need for better communication between players as the team seeks to improve its performance. Forward Michael Porter Jr. and guard Keon Ellis echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of staying connected during games to maintain composure. The Nets hope to leverage their home-court advantage at Barclays Center against the Hornets, who are set to welcome back forward Kon Knueppel.
