After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Pacers 127-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
