After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Grizzlies 116-108. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
