After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Nuggets 124-99. Hornets' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
