After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 112-84. Hornets' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
