After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Kings 143-81. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
