The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

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.
