After Action Report

The Hornets squeaked past the Kings 115-113. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
