After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Knicks 125-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
