After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 133-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
