After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Spurs 114-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
