After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Hornets 104-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
