After Action Report
The Kings held off the Hornets 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
