After Action Report

The Hornets held off the 76ers 116-109. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
