After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Mavericks 138-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
