After Action Report

The Hornets edged the SuperSonics 108-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
