After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Hornets edged the Kings 99-93. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
