After Action Report

The Hornets outlasted the Kings 116-97. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Kings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
