After Action Report
The Spurs knocked off the Hornets 99-97. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
