After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Hornets 103-86. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
