After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the Warriors 108-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
