After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets edged the Trail Blazers 130-121. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed.
