After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Lakers 107-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
