After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Hornets 143-140 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Hornets.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
