After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Hornets 125-113. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
