After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Pacers 97-94. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
