After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Trail Blazers 123-95. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
