After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the 76ers 117-94. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
