After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Nets 117-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
