After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Lakers 123-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
