After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Nuggets 115-110. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
