After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Kings 117-90. Hornets torched the Kings on the offensive end. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
