After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Kings 125-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
