After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Kings 99-95. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
