After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Spurs 101-89. Hornets' offense had its way with the Spurs. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
