After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the Spurs 123-86. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
