After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Pacers 114-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
