After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the Warriors 115-112. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
