What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
