After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets fended off the Nuggets 110-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
