After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Spurs 100-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
