After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Grizzlies 109-105. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
