After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Pacers 124-118. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
