After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Grizzlies 111-109. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
