After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 137-117. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Grizzlies lately. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
