After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Kings 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
