After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Mavericks 107-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
