After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Trail Blazers 127-88. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
