After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Nuggets 130-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · 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.
