After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets blew the doors off the SuperSonics 107-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
