After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets snuck past the Lakers 113-110. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
