After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets outlasted the 76ers 123-106. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
