After Action Report

The Kings rolled past the Hornets 109-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
