After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Hornets 129-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
