After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Warriors 89-86. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
