After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets blew the doors off the Pacers 125-102. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
