After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Warriors outlasted the Hornets 105-98. Warriors torched the Hornets on the offensive end. The Warriors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Warriors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
