After Action Report

The Hornets downed the Cavaliers 121-106. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
