After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Nuggets 138-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
