After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Nuggets 115-86. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
