After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Wizards 129-96. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
