After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the SuperSonics 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
