After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Timberwolves 106-102. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
