After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Hornets 111-106. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
