After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Pacers 130-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
