After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Kings 102-97. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
