After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Nuggets 139-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
