After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the 76ers 109-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
