After Action Report

The Hornets handled the Mavericks 119-102. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
