After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the SuperSonics 92-89. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
