After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings fended off the Hornets 104-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
