After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Kings demolished the Hornets 116-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
