After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Nuggets 133-125. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
