After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Spurs 112-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
