After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets upended the Kings 128-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
