After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Kings 118-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
