After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Hornets squeaked past the Kings 108-107. Hornets torched the Kings on the offensive end. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
