After Action Report

The Hornets blew the doors off the Kings 120-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
