After Action Report

In Memphis, the Hornets snuck past the Grizzlies 94-93. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
