After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Hawks 128-95. Hornets torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
