After Action Report
The Bobcats upended the Lakers 101-96. Every possession went the Bobcats way. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
