After Action Report

The Hornets handled the Hawks 109-99. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · 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.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
