After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Mavericks 88-78. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
