After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets handled the Lakers 113-101. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
