After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Hornets 100-97. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
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.
