After Action Report

In Golden State, the Hornets survived the Warriors 117-114 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
