After Action Report
The Bobcats squeaked past the Lakers 109-104. Bobcats' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
