After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the Kings 107-93. Hornets' stops on the defensive end set the tone. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
