After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 148-116. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
