After Action Report
The Hornets upended the 76ers 139-129. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it

- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
