After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Hornets 93-91. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
