After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Spurs 96-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
