After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Spurs 120-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
