After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Cavaliers 107-83. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
