After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Nuggets 118-117. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
