After Action Report
In a track meet, the Warriors handled the Hornets 121-108. Warriors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
