After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Wizards 103-89. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
