After Action Report

The Lakers handled the Bobcats 119-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
