After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Trail Blazers 115-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
