After Action Report

The Kings rolled past the Hornets 116-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
