After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Bobcats 131-128. Lakers torched the Bobcats on the offensive end. The Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin; Bobcats' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

- Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
