After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Spurs 119-110. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
