After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets edged the SuperSonics 111-104. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
