After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Hawks 116-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
