Charlotte Hornets use defense and rebounding to sweep season series with Kings

CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ Defense and rebounding _ big concerns at the start of the Charlotte Hornets' season _ looked like strengths Tuesday in a 110-102 home victory over the Sacramento Kings.

The Hornets outrebounded the Kings by 18 and held their opponent to 41% shooting to win their fourth game in their last five. The Hornets improved to 13-17. The Kings fell to 12-15.

Malik Monk came off the bench for a season-high 23 points for the Hornets. De'Aaron Fox, returning from an ankle sprain, scored 19 off the bench for Sacramento.
