After Action Report

The Lakers snuck past the Bobcats 121-119 in double overtime. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell; Bobcats' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · 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.
