After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 130-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
