After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Knicks 111-98. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
