After Action Report
The Kings outlasted the Hornets 115-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it

- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
