After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Mavericks 100-97. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
