After Action Report
In Seattle, the Hornets snuck past the SuperSonics 100-96. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
