After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Mavericks 117-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
