After Action Report

The Hornets downed the 76ers 108-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
