After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Mavericks 103-101. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' 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.
