After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Wizards 128-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
