After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Bobcats 104-101. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
