After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Kings 101-94. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
