After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets held off the Cavaliers 107-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
