After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers survived the Hornets 104-100. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
