After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the SuperSonics 96-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
