Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
