After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Nuggets 100-71. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
