The Lakers snuck past the Hornets 115-112. Every possession went the Lakers way. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
