After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Kings snuck past the Hornets 102-97. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
