After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Mavericks 111-105. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
