After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Hornets 128-112. Lakers' offense had its way with the Hornets. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
