After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Nuggets 104-103 in overtime. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
