After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Cavaliers 97-94. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
