After Action Report

The Bobcats buried the Hornets 102-73. Every possession went the Bobcats way. Bobcats' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

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.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
