After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Hornets 123-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
