After Action Report

The Kings survived the Hornets 95-92. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
