After Action Report

In Dallas, the Hornets outlasted the Mavericks 123-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
