After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Lakers 97-93. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
