After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Kings 121-96. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
