The Hornets rolled past the Mavericks 123-89. Hornets torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
