After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Mavericks 125-107. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
