After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Hornets 117-93. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
