After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Lakers 108-99. Every possession went the Hornets way. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
