After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Kings handled the Hornets 111-95. Kings torched the Hornets on the offensive end. The Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
