After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Hornets snuck past the Kings 121-117. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
