After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Cavaliers 114-108. Hornets' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · 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.
