After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets edged the Lakers 92-86. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
