After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets blew the doors off the Mavericks 106-80. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
