After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Grizzlies handled the Hornets 132-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it

- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
