After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Spurs 120-94. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
