After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Mavericks 135-109. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
