After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Cavaliers 112-107. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
