After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings outlasted the Hornets 117-108. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
