After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Nuggets 100-90. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
