After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Lakers 115-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
