After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Pacers 125-123. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
