After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Mavericks 108-107. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
