After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Bucks 107-89. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
