After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Kings demolished the Hornets 108-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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.
