After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers took care of the Hornets 109-94. Lakers' offense had its way with the Hornets. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
