After Action Report

The Warriors held off the Hornets 105-96. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
