After Action Report

The Bobcats survived the Lakers 109-108. The breakneck pace played right into Bobcats' hands. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
