After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hornets outlasted the SuperSonics 124-117. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
