After Action Report
The Kings fended off the Hornets 130-122 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
