After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Pacers 130-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
