After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Kings 109-100. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
