After Action Report
The Kings held off the Hornets 98-91. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
