After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the Nuggets 113-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets sent shots into the fifth row all night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
