The Hornets snuck past the Spurs 98-96. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
