After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Kings 126-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
