After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Hornets 121-104. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
