After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets pulled away from the Kings 97-86. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
