After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Bobcats 131-128 in overtime. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; fresh off a statement win, the Bobcats stayed locked in.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
