After Action Report
The Hornets stunned the Nuggets 116-112. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
