After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 113-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
