After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Lakers 117-102. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
