After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Mavericks 103-99. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
