After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Nuggets demolished the Hornets 124-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
