After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Nuggets 120-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; 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. It was over by halftime.
