After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Lakers 98-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
