After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Trail Blazers 108-90. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
