After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Spurs 115-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
