After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Spurs 125-100. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
