After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Cavaliers 108-97. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
