After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Mavericks 120-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

- 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.
