After Action Report
The Hornets shocked the Trail Blazers 133-111. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
