After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 98-95. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
