After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Mavericks 85-83. Hornets torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
