After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the SuperSonics 104-99. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
