After Action Report

The Hornets handled the Kings 91-77. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' positional balance gave them a synergy edge; the Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
