After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Lakers 102-87. Hornets torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
