After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Nuggets 150-103. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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. Never a doubt in this one.
