The Hornets pulled away from the Trail Blazers 136-118. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
