After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Spurs 117-98. Hornets' offense had its way with the Spurs. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
