After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 132-129. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
