After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Bobcats downed the Lakers 107-96. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. The Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
