After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Cavaliers 111-108. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
