After Action Report
The Kings edged the Hornets 107-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
