After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Kings 113-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
