After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the 76ers 109-101. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
