After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers buried the Hornets 114-93. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
