After Action Report
The Hornets stunned the Nuggets 136-115. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it

- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
