After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets took care of the 76ers 103-87. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; the 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
