After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Cavaliers 109-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
