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
