After Action Report

The Hornets squeaked past the Spurs 102-98. Every possession went the Hornets way. Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
