After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets shocked the Nuggets 133-114. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
