After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets edged the Pacers 108-100. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
