After Action Report

The Nuggets edged the Hornets 121-113. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
