In New Orleans, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Kings 115-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
