After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets took care of the Hawks 124-112. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
