Nets coach Kenny Atkinson

told reporters at Reuters of going to Mexico : “I think we’re going to grow as a basketball team and grow as an organization from a trip like this. You’re together a lot more and there’s a lot of stuff to do, whether it’s (visiting) pyramids or team dinners that are at an authentic Mexican restaurant. To me, that’s what it’s all about.”
