After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Wizards 126-100. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it

- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
