The Hornets took care of the Nuggets 99-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
