After Action Report
In New York, the Hornets squeaked past the Knicks 107-104. Every possession went the Hornets way. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
