After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Bobcats 117-108. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; shots just aren't falling for the Bobcats lately. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
