After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Pacers 114-112. Hornets' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
