After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets snuck past the Wizards 109-104. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
