After Action Report

The Hornets handled the Mavericks 104-89. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. 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.
