The Hornets rolled past the Mavericks 113-77. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
