After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Nuggets 115-102. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
