After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Mavericks 117-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
