After Action Report

The Kings snuck past the Hornets 95-94. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
