After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets demolished the Mavericks 121-87. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
