After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Trail Blazers 109-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
