After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings outlasted the Hornets 113-100. Kings torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
