After Action Report

The Kings downed the Hornets 120-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
