After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Mavericks 123-101. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Garbage time started early.

- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
