After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Trail Blazers 109-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
