After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Kings 115-86. Hornets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
