After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Mavericks 131-97. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
