After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 131-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
