After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Nuggets 113-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
