After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers buried the Hornets 134-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
