After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers buried the Hornets 133-112. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
