After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets snuck past the Nuggets 99-97. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
