After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Spurs 103-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. 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.
