After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Mavericks 112-69. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
