After Action Report
In Seattle, the Hornets rolled past the SuperSonics 139-97. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
