After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Knicks 124-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
