After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets pulled away from the Suns 107-95. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
