After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets squeaked past the Kings 123-118. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
