After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Grizzlies 111-106. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
