After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Spurs 111-109. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
