After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Hornets 114-94. Lakers' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
