After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Wizards 124-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
