After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Pacers 103-85. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
