After Action Report
In Seattle, the Hornets squeaked past the SuperSonics 125-124 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
