After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the SuperSonics 105-102. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the SuperSonics. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
