After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Hornets 119-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. 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
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
