After Action Report

In Washington, the Hornets outlasted the Wizards 112-103. Hornets' offense had its way with the Wizards. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
