After Action Report

The Kings buried the Hornets 129-84. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
