After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Trail Blazers 104-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
