After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Cavaliers 127-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
