After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Lakers 106-93. Hornets torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
