After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets pulled away from the Mavericks 125-106. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
