After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats pulled away from the Lakers 107-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
