After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Spurs 97-85. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
