After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 104-100. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
