After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Rockets 128-102. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
