The Hornets outlasted the 76ers 98-85. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
