After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets edged the Nuggets 98-91. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
