After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Cavaliers 117-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
