After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Kings 119-110. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
