After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Raptors 126-105. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
