The simple philosophy behind Randy Foye’s late-game heroics

Randy Foye celebrates after hitting a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to lift the Nets over the Hornets 120-118 Monday.

Coaches constantly preach about building a culture, about getting players to buy in and accept roles, even if that means not always getting the minutes they want. Monday’s slump-busting 120-118 win over the Hornets was an example of that for the Nets.

Randy Foye was recently banished from the rotation, but was forced into crunch time with Jeremy Lin’s injury and hit the game-winning shot. And Bojan Bogdanovic lost his starting spot to Joe Harris, but bounced back with a game-high 26 points off the bench.
