After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Wizards 103-99. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
