After Action Report
The Hornets downed the 76ers 92-80. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
