The Hornets outlasted the Knicks 125-116. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it

- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
