After Action Report

The Kings survived the Hornets 115-114. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
