After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Kings demolished the Hornets 119-97. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
