After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Knicks 101-90. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
