After Action Report
The Bobcats took care of the Lakers 116-97. Bobcats' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
