After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Grizzlies 95-94. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
