After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets buried the Spurs 120-96. Hornets' offense had its way with the Spurs. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
