After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets snuck past the Lakers 98-97. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
