After Action Report
The Cavaliers edged the Hornets 119-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
