After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 113-92. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
