After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Lakers buried the Bobcats 124-104. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
