After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Mavericks 113-111. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
