After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Trail Blazers 98-86. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
