Coach Monty made the guys watch a motivational video before game 4. I think this is the Video (I think, I'm not 100% sure)

quote:

IMPACT VIDEO: For motivation, Hornets Coach Monty Williams had his team watch a video of the Battle at Kruger National Park, a wildlife battle for survival between wildebeests trying to protect their calves against lions.

When asked what message Williams wanted to get across to his players from viewing the video, he said ‘don’t give up.’

The video appeared to have made an impact because after two consecutive losses to the Lakers, they came out Sunday night and played aggressive much like they did to win Game 1. After giving up 50 points in the lane in Game 2 and 50 in Game 3, the Hornets outscored the Lakers 30-24 in the post during the first half. By attacking the lane, they forced both Bynum and Gasol into early foul problems. They boxed out and grabbed rebounds. They also contested most of the Lakers’ shots. Forward Lamar Odom struggled to get into rhythm after missing six of his first seven attempts.

“You can always look in guys’ faces and eyes to see if they’re still in it, and I saw that yesterday,’’ Williams said.

There's also more relevant discussion of the game in the link. I just picked up on the video part.

Damn, I suppose I should have focused on other bits of the article.


In other news, Hornets have sold 1000 more season tickets than last year.
