After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Pacers 101-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
