After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets blew the doors off the Lakers 143-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
