After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Pacers 109-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
