After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Pacers 98-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
