After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Hornets blew the doors off the Bobcats 118-97. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
