After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the SuperSonics 106-96. Every possession went the Hornets way. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
