After Action Report

The Hornets buried the SuperSonics 118-92. Hornets' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · 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.
