After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Hornets 112-89. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets are in a full-on tailspin; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
