After Action Report
The Kings shocked the Hornets 114-111. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings are in a full-on tailspin; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
