After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Lakers 113-108. Hornets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
