The Hornets fended off the Spurs 102-96. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
