After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Hornets 116-98. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
