After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Trail Blazers 116-76. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets sent shots into the fifth row all night; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
