After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Pacers 108-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
