After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Cavaliers 140-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
