After Action Report
In Denver, the Hornets buried the Nuggets 118-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 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. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
