After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets blew the doors off the Knicks 139-93. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
