After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets blew the doors off the Wizards 119-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets are in a full-on tailspin; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
