After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Grizzlies 126-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
