After Action Report

The Hornets edged the Nuggets 119-110. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
