After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Mavericks 109-97. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
