After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Kings 100-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
