After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the 76ers 108-102. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
