After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Trail Blazers 119-112. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
