After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Trail Blazers 120-87. Hornets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
