"We know how to compete," Cam Johnson said Saturday. "We know how to influence the game and have it play our way. Now we got to learn how to win games in the fourth quarter."
Dennis Schroder is playing some of the best ball of his career. Cam Thomas is scoring at an expected high clip. The Nets are showing the grit they often talk about but haven't leaned on.
Fernandez has handled his first 10 games well. He is measured on results or trends but not satisfied with how they've lost games by letting go of the rope.
The Nets still foul too much and have the second-most per game as of Sunday. But it's a byproduct of their physical defense that's also top-10 in opponent turnovers and opponent three-point percentage.
