After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Lakers 100-90. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
