After Action Report

The 76ers snuck past the Hornets 120-118. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 76ers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
