After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Nuggets held off the Hornets 122-116. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
