After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Cavaliers 113-109. Hornets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
