After Action Report
In New Orleans, the 76ers blew the doors off the Hornets 114-92. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
