After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings took care of the Hornets 124-114. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
