In New Orleans, the Hornets buried the Nets 133-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
