After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Lakers 137-96. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
