After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Nuggets 102-101. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
