After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets pulled away from the Mavericks 97-86. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
