After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Timberwolves 119-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
