After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Bobcats 118-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
