After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Hornets 123-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
