After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Grizzlies 100-93. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
