After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets demolished the Grizzlies 122-98. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
