After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Hornets blew the doors off the Kings 120-91. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
