After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 120-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
