After Action Report

The Hornets shocked the Kings 110-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
