After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Spurs 121-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
