After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hornets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 119-89. Hornets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
