After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Pacers 126-117. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
