After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Pacers 122-110. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
