After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Hornets 116-96. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
