After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Bobcats 105-102. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
