After Action Report

The Hornets blew the doors off the Raptors 137-115. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 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. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
