After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets rolled past the Nuggets 121-84. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
