After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Nuggets 102-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
