After Action Report
In Denver, the Hornets fended off the Nuggets 100-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
