After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Nuggets 117-112. Hornets' offense had its way with the Nuggets. 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. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
