After Action Report

The Bobcats demolished the Lakers 136-113. The Bobcats got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

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.
