After Action Report
In Portland, the Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 109-104. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
