The Hornets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 140-79. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
