After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Trail Blazers 130-99. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
