After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Lakers 113-93. Hornets' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
