After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Nuggets 125-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
