After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the Hornets 101-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
